Biff's carpet was torn. It had a big hole in it. Biff showed Dad but he said, “ We can't afford a new one. Sorry, Biff. ”
Biff and Chip were shopping with Dad. Dadwanted to buy a bookcase for Kipper's room. They saw one outside the junk shop. “ I'll get this for Kipper, ” said Dad. Biff found an old carpet in the back of the shop“ This would do for my room, ” she said. She asked Dad if she could have it.
Dad looked at the old carpet. “ You don't want that thing, ” he said. “ It's oldand dirty. “ But I like it, ” said Bif, “ Please may I have it?” So Dad said, “ Yes, as long as it doesn't cost toomuch. ” Biff beat the carpet. It was full of dust and dirt. “ I didn't think a carpet could be so dusty, ” she said. “ I wonder who had it last. Someone whodidn't wipe their feet! ”
Biff and Mum gave the carpet a shampoo. “ I don't think it has ever had a shampoobefore, ” said Biff, “ It looks better already. ” The carpet looked beautiful. “ It is a nice carpet, " said Biff, “ I told you so! It looks quite old, so maybe it's worth a lot ofmoney.

Another adventure had begun. This time Biff andKipper were on a flying carpet. “ This is a new kind of adventure, " said Biff. “ The carpet is coming with us. ’
